are. we're at 72 degrees. the front is still down here. if it doesn't move, our temperature could be off by some 5 or 10 degrees for tomorrow. we're expecting to hit about 85 degrees. you might have to settle for 75 in some areas. listen, here is what we're looking at up and down the east coast. it's still 76 in raleigh, 87 for their high temperature today and 20 degrees cooler in pittsburgh at 67 this hour. most of us are seeing either fog or mist and a little drizzle. check out this the line that is growing coming through fauquier county. i'm going to put this in motion. you'll see right around the warrenton area as this comes up from the south in the last hour it's kind of holding together. heads up prince william county and manassas into chantilly. you might be getting some brief heavy downpours. the bulk of the heavier an unthat produced a couple inches in -- heavy rain that produced a couple inches is now gone.

we'll keep a shower in the forecast overnight, isolated heavy downpour. most of tomorrow will be on the dry side. because this warm front will be hanging around, there could be a spotty shower or thunderstorm especially in the afternoon. that will pretty much be the same forecast for our thursday. going into the weekend i think friday looks terrific and a big change-up for the weekend. we've got three warm days we're expecting. this temperature is dependent on what the warm front does. if it hangs around, we could be cooler. we could have a better chance for showers and storms if it doesn't move through. saturday night into sunday temperature on sunday about 66. we drop to 46 at night. into columbus day we're only talking about temperatures in the low 60s. so the coolest air we've seen so far this season is rolling into town we think sunday and sunday night. that's it for your accuweather seven-day forecast. i'll tell you, what it was hard for the nats even with that fog out there. scott smith has got your sports report. >> this is the verizon sports
